    I'd guess mine would mirror the HEL80's score. I'm never gonna buy or use Vista though, so it's a moot point ;)

    I think mine is 4.4 because of the 5400 rpm HDD. If I replaced that I'd be up to maybe 4.6. The only time I ever notice it is when I'm playing Spider. Then I'm like, "dang, if I get a new hard drive how much cooler would this game be." :rolleyes:

    I guess I only thought it went up to 5. What kind of system do you need to be pushing 5.9?

    My processor rates a 4.7, RAM a 4.3 and Hard disk a 4.5. The low points are the 3-D Graphics (3.7) and gaming graphics (3.3, 3.2 after new driver update).

    3.8. My Pentium M is the bottleneck.

    I actually got a nice graphics and gaming graphics score (both 4.5) thanks to my overclocked MR X700 256MB. ;)

    I achieved these scores with my x1400 overclocked at 540/480. At stock speeds I was hitting 3.8 on graphics and 3.7 on gaming graphics.

    Processor: 4.7
    Ram: 4.5
    Graphics: 4.1
    Gaming Graphics: 4.0
    Primary Hard Drive: 4.4

    Macbook Pro

    Processor (Core Duo T2500): 4.7
    Memory (1gb DDR2 667mhz): 4.5
    Graphics (256mb x1600): 4.1
    Gaming Graphics: 4.5
    Primary Hard Disk (100gb 5400rpm): 4.2

    Running boot camp 1.2 with standard drivers, graphics would surely be higher with different drivers and overclocked a little (like in XP), and with another gig of RAM I'm sure it'll be a little better allround.

    Is something wrong with my GFX card or is this normal? I ran the test twice.. and even have the latest Nvidia drivers from Dell.

    Base Score: 3.0
    Processor: 4.9
    Memory: 4.5
    Graphics: 3.6
    Gaming Graphics: 3.0
    Harddisk: 4.7

    I don't find my comp slow at all.. i don't play games.. sometimes do PS CS2 editing.. everything that i use runs fast.

    Specs below

    Try updating to the latest drivers. Make sure your computer is plugged in and all power saving options disabled (always on/high performance settings). See if anything changes.
